And much to Roberto Mancini who is doing an excellent job at the service of Zenit who is isolated leader in the Russian League and who went on to win 5-0 in Vardar in the first game of this group stage.
This team plays an offensive and quality football. Defensively they have been an equally solid and very compact team.
Even though he lost a few important players, Zenit this year is stronger and playing a football with more quality, no doubt.
The Russians come from an important victory in Krasnodar for the championship by 2-0 which reinforced the leadership in the championship.
In this Europa League this game is very important because Real Sociedad is the strongest team of the group on par with this Zenit precisely.
Real Sociedad this Spanish team plays a very attractive and showy football. The team has very good game dynamics. Rapids coming out for the attack, technical quality and speed characterize this team.
Ease in making goals and beautiful game, nice to see for any football lover. In European football they have some experience at the level of Europa League and the squad is also good having very experienced players.
It is true that they came very strong in the League and also in this Europa League in which they beat Rosenborg 4-0 at home but it was the last positive result.
In the last 3 games, they add up to 3 losses. 1-3 at home with Real Madrid, 3-0 in Levante and finally 2-3 with Valencia. The team needs to react and this game would be the ideal against a rival who is playing very well.
Prognosis Zenit vs Real Sociedad:
Prognosis:
Although both teams are doing a lot of goals and are offensive teams that like to attack and play with their eyes on the opposing goal, here I am in the less than 2.5 goals.
I expect a slightly more tactically balanced encounter with both teams playing a bit more in the middle field and with some restraint. I believe we have goals, possibly 1 or 2, but I do not believe in more than that.
Both teams will respect each other a lot and it will be game to solve in detail I believe. Under 2.5 goals is a good bet in this game.
